Group Of Black Leaders, Ministers Back Tim Kelly; Kim White Says She Supports Keeping David Roddy As Police Chief Wednesday, March 17, 2021
The group did so after meeting with Mr. Kelly and Kim White on Saturday morning.
Among the questions put to the two runoff candidates was whether they would name a black police chief. Ms. White said she believes current Police Chief David Roddy has done an excellent job.
The two candidates had separate sessions with the group on Saturday.
Mr. Kelly said, “I am honored and humbled to have the support of this coalition of key community faith leaders. This important endorsement reflects our commitment to opportunity for every Chattanoogan, regardless of race or zip code. I look forward to working with pastors and faith leaders to bring people together, revitalize our community, and keep our city safe.
